I had relaxing moments with my family, I hope to return more often. Thank you for the excellent experience and opportunity. Super Indicate!

Jug Cove Cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone who enjoys peaceful lakefront living - kayaking, fishing, swimming and sunset cookouts. Access to two of Maine's largest lakes and still within 20 minutes of the city. An absolute ideal fishing spot!
We have a kayak and 4 person blow-up boat (Intex Excursion 5) with oars and a few fishing poles available for use. And if you bring your own boat, there is a public boat launch within 5 minutes of the cottage and you can use the dock to tie it up.

The house was beautiful! The hosts were very helpful and informative. It's definately a great price for the house. I would definitely come back!

Richard2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

This place is super comfortable and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and the whole house was clean.

Ann2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

We had a great time. We were on a camping road trip with our kayaks and spent a bunch of time on the river and lake surrounding the cottage. It was a fun stop and the cottage was everything it was described to be.

mike and jen2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Incredibly clean cabin with kayaks so you can paddle all throughtout the river makes this place worth it alone. The area was peaceful and the host was super responsive.

Amazing time. Anne is very helpful. We cant wait to stay again. We love the house and land. Very relaxing!

Nia Maya2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

We had the greatest time at Anne's cottage! The location was perfect, the cottage was very clean, and all the included amenities were perfect. Anne was very responsive to any questions we had and we cannot wait to visit Maine again! Thanks Anne!!

Robert2016-09-15T00:00:00Z

This cottage is in the perfect location in Maine in general and especially for us. A four hour car ride delivers us to a woodsy, waterfront, scenic piece of life on vacation. We love coming here, de-stressing, sleeping in and then exploring from this magical camp as our base camp and also simply relaxing here sitting around the fire or playing in the river down off the dock below camp. It's so easy to catch fish off the dock here, it ought to be illegal. There's some great poles and gear here but bring your own if you'd like, it's a blast. And yes, there's still cell service, fast internet and basic tv if you need it to ease your way down. So many day trips to take, so much to see and do ... We went off to Poland, Norway and Paris and stopped in to see friends for the rest of the day in South Woodstock and we all together went to lunch in Bethel. All within a little over an hour from camp. We always go into Lewiston, which is just close enough (20 minutes) to make it real easy to shop and we always go to Fielders Choice for some of the best ice cream anywhere. We always go to The Goodwill store and/or the Salvation Army store to treasure hunt and always come back with a toy, a special find, or like we did this trip, a jig saw puzzle to assemble while relaxing with tea and coffee and watching the sun come up each morning. We left it here for you to play with next. The general store/gas station it's just a few miles back on 126 and a full grocery (Shop and Save) is just a few more miles away in Litchfield. Easy to get to with fun spots along the way to stop at. We head into Augusta to go to the Maine State Museum once a year to see the newest exhibits and revisit the traditional ones. This is an awesome museum and a great place to get to know more about Maine and it's diverse history and the inventive and industrious people who have and still live here. Very inexpensive as a family doesn't spend more them 10$ to get in. We also go to Portland a little over an hour away and this year we went to Cape Elizabeth (Two Lights, Fort William and the Lobster Shack). This was an awesome day trip. We played for hours on end there at the parks. The Lobster Shack is a destination eatery. Casual seafood eats right on the ocean in grand, PRIME LOCATION, panorama. We ate and watched whales foraging and surfacing in the surf right there off shore the entire time we were there. On the way back to camp we stopped in Freeport to make returns and a few purchases at L L Bean, have a meal and got real lucky this time as Bean had brought in the...

If you're looking for a cozy Maine family camp, you've found it! Enjoy the day swimming, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. It's all right there. Paddle up Jug Stream and you'll be on Annabessacook Lake. Relax in the hammock and watch the activity or sit on the back deck. Catch a glimpse of the blue herons or loons as they make their way by the camp. You're only 20 minutes from Augusta and just about an hour from Portland. The camp is less than 5 miles from the Theater at Monmouth.

One tandem Old Town kayak and an Old Town canoe are available with adult life jackets. There are a few fishing poles available. You will need to get some worms. (The Monmouth General Store has them.) We have a great fire pit just remember to grab some wood up along the way. There is dock space available for your small boat. The lake also has a public launch.

This was an idyllic vacation for our family- like something from my childhood 30 years ago. The cabin was so peaceful. It had everything we needed- bathroom, plenty of comfortable beds, kitchen with all the dishes we could need. Plus the extras: canoe, kayak, float toys, board games, wifi, hammock and swing (hugely popular with my kids), swim dock, fishing poles, fire pit, etc. The lake water was warm and fun to play in and boat around. John and Michelle were very flexible and accommodating. The location is private and quiet, but not far from conveniences, and only an hour from Portland. The neighbors are quiet but very friendly. We wish we could have stayed even longer!! We hope to come again soon!

Kira2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful weekend retreat for our family! Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the lake, fishing and boating. John was a great host!

Mary2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Great little cabin on the lake! The hosts had impeccable communication and made sure we had everything we needed during oir stay! Neighbors are closer than they appear in pictures but still very private location.

Alysha2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

My family and I spent a few days here at the cabin for my mothers birthday- cabin is very homie and we all had a great time and will definately be coming back for future trips! Recommend this host

Amanda2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

John was a fantastic host. He met us at the cabin so we knew the ins and outs of the cabin and location. They even provided "maine made" snacks of whoopie pies, sodas and snacks. The cabin was very clean and functional. We have a 5 and 8 year old that loved to boat, fish and swim and the location was great. Even the neighbor took us all out on a boat ride! John also took his time to met us in Portland when my daughter left her stuffed animal behind! That is service! I would highly recommend this place.

James2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 65 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Brian2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

This is a awesome rental! Quiet, clean and comfortable! The host's were so welcoming and easy to contact, if need be. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway! The lake access is great! And added bonus that the neighbors are also great!

sarah2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

This was such a great experience! The hosts were very accommodating! This cabin was so peaceful!

Highfield offers a rustic natural setting in Wayne where you will find Androscoggin lake good for loon spotting sailing, kayaking, and boating. The quiet country atmosphere of Wayne is 25 min from Augusta and Interstate 95, also 45 min from Lewiston/Auburn, 75 min from Portland.. You’ll love my place because of the connection to nature, seasonal gardens, quiet peace of the country and the rustic cabin feel. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

Set in the beautiful, rural Maine countryside, this house is designed to be energy efficient adopting a passive solar philosophy. The house has ample light by which you can view the local wildlife, read, relax and rejuvenate.

A nature lovers paradise, close to town and the lake. Local reserved public land includes Mount Pisgah Conservation Area where you can climb a fire tower for spectacular views and Gott Pasture Preserve (URL HIDDEN) where you can sit by Wilson Pond and take in its natural beauty.

We loved the idea of getting away and Scott's home was perfect. It is a beautiful quaint solar home settled in the woods with beautiful gardens and a lovely field. Spacious but cozy too. The night sky's are unbelievable due to the lack of light pollution.. great for star gazing and just resting quietly. We got a great dinner at the Lighthouse restaurant nearby in Manchester and took it home.. the best, lobster, clams, mussels with potatoes and corn on the cob everything steamed for us. Thank you Scott for sharing your home.

My family had a wonderful time in Wayne! Scott's home is quiet, private, clean, comfy (especially the bed), and well-equipped. Scott was welcoming and very accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our seven week stay. He was very helpful in pointing out great spots to visit and things to do. We feel lucky to have found such a great host! There were chickadees, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers always keeping us company out on the deck, porcupines hanging out in the trees, and chipmunks popping in and out of their burrows. Wilson Pond nearby is a great place to go for a swim and see bald eagles, not to mention pick wild blueberries. We'd highly recommend a stay here!

Quiet peaceful lakeside retreat on beautiful Annabessacook Lake in central Maine. Relax on the private sandy beach or swim, fish and/or boat in the clean waters of the lake. Enjoy Maine as it is meant to be. Close to many of Maine's great landmarks.

Beautiful, quiet, lakeside house and property with private sandy beach with access to two sit on top kayaks and a LL Bean 16 foot canoe. Near by boat launch if you need one. Clean water and uncrowded views and lake use. Peaceful and relaxing the way Maine is meant to be. Unwind on the large deck or the sandy beach or on the lake.

We are within three miles of all the major needs for shopping, but we are away from the hustle and bustle with no neighbors close to the house. This is the perfect vacation getaway that peaceful, quiet, yet near to many necessities and within an hour of most Maine landmarks.

What is not to love, you have a beautiful 250' of prime Cobbossee Lake frontage. You will enjoy the privacy and comfort of this camp and enjoy spending your days on the lake. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families, big groups, and furry friends (pets). Camp is 3 miles away from the local grocery store/fuel, 45 min away from Portland if you wanted to get a day of shopping in.

This was absolutely the best experience; Rich's place was even better than the description! The views from inside and out are incredible. We had everything we needed to have the experience of a lifetime--truly. The kayaks, the screened-in porch, the fire pit, the dock...we loved it all. And Rich was super responsive, which made the whole process so easy. We will be back!

Elizabeth2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

The location on the lake is perfect, close to the sand bar, great for kayaking and fishing, we were successful catching all kinds of fish right off the dock. We also saw a mink, turtles, and a bald eagle. Rich was always quick to respond to questions and the house is perfect. Large enough for a big group with a great yard for BBQ and enjoying the lake.

Andria2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

My family who live in Maine spent 5 nights at Rich's home on Cabbossocontee Lake. It was wonderful. We had the best time. There were 2 kayaks, noddles, and a canoe/rowboat. There was coffee, filters and plenty of paper products and laundry detergent so we simply settled in. Entering the cottage took my breath away. We were so happy. I hope Rich will forgive our breaking 2 coffee mugs. We ordered 3 more from Crate and Barrel and they should arrive shortly. Thank you Rich!!

jill2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Put simply, Rich's cabin on the shore of Lake Cobbosseeconte is stunning: the location, the views, the property itself, everything. We booked the place for a last-minute getaway and had no idea what to expect. And it was pitch-black when we arrived, having suffered car troubles en route. We weren't sure if we even had the right place, everything was eerily quiet, and (did I mention) it was so dark out. But the key worked in the door, and we discovered a spacious and comfortable cabin with room enough to sleep 10 or 15 comfortably, a smart kitchen, and a cozy screened-in porch. But it was the next morning when we saw how much we had lucked out: the view over the lake was stunning. And that was just the beginning. We fished off the dock, took the kayaks up and down the lake, and explored the area on foot. After a night or two, we decided to extend our stay--the best recommendation I can imagine.

Andrew2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Great place! Worth every single penny. There was plenty of room for six occupants. A great spot on the lake, clean house, clean kitchen, friendly neighbors. We cannot wait to come back again.

Andria2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Everything about Rich’s place was simply amazing! My friends and I were excited based on the pictures and when we arrived we were blown away! The house is so cute with its rustic charm and 5 bedrooms. All the beds were comfy and we were thrilled to have a space to ourselves for a long weekend. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed to prepare some great meals! And the outside was just WOW! The backyard leads right to the lake! We loved sitting on the back porch and grilling, going out on the kayaks, sitting on the dock, or just hanging out in the back yard. And the fire pit was great for night time. This was a fully inclusive trip and for an incredible value. My friends and I began planning to return next year on the very first night. Waking up to the view of the lake was amazing! It was even gorgeous during a rainstorm! Rich was also a great host and checked in on the 2nd day to make sure we had everything we needed. And let us know to reach out if we needed help! The overall experience made for a wonderful easy going weekend! Can’t wait to rent this place again!

Tiffany2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

The camp was everything we expected and more! There was plenty of room for all of us w/ room to spare. Lots of comfortable places to hang and just relax. Rich was very responsive as we requested to stay for another night. Hoping to come back next year w/ our boat!

Barbara2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

We couldn't had been happier with our stay on Cobbosseecontee. The house and its campy feel fit right in with the Maine lake. The property felt very private and had exquisite views. The kitchen was well supplied and there was plenty of space to spread out. We are already thinking about our return trip in the Summer of 2018.

A beautiful home, a quiet respite in the woods.
A short walk to Maranacook Lake with great swimming, fishing and a canoe for your use. Relax to the calls of the loons and owls from the hot tub amidst the beautiful landscaping and towering pines.
All the amenities of home and more.

Ours is a newer, 1200ft2, 3 bedroom home within a short walk to Maranacook Lake. Open layout, granite counters, cherry cabinets, cherry and leather furniture, full basement, 2.5 baths, hot tub on the deck, bamboo flooring, beautiful landscaping, huge white pines and red oaks.
Expect quiet, no sounds of traffic..owls in the winter, loons in the summer.
There are three swimming spots a three minute walk away, and a great public boat landing 1/2 mile away. In summer you can use the canoe.
Sugarloaf and Sunday River are 1.25 hours away, and three of the top 100 public courses in the US are close by, one just 20 minutes. You can't beat the biking.
There's a wonderful, eclectic restaurant in town, with great food and drinks, live music and no cover most nights.
Your'e 15 minutes from Augusta, the state capital, with shops, restaurants and entertainment. You're 15 minutes from Monmouth Theater, one of the most recognized summer theaters in New England.
We look forward to seeing you.

Joe was extremely accommodating. Checked in with us to make sure there were no issues. Some fun surprises for us in the yard. Had a great weekend. Would definitely come back.

Ellen2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

Joe was a wonderful host. We didn't get a chance to meet in person but he was very responsive and informative over email before and during our stay. We rented the entire place for the weekend - could not have been more perfect for a quick getaway. The location is quiet and out of the hustle and bustle, but there are a few restaurants/bakeries nearby that were great. Joe's place is charming, cute, and very comfortable. Everything is well equipped and easy. We couldn't figure out how to get the hot tub jets to come on but that was the only struggle we experienced.. so all things relative that isn't bad! Very relaxing weekend. Highly recommend!

Stephanie2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

We had an excellent time, the place was fantastic and Joe was an especially communicative host despite being out of the country at the time. We highly recommend staying here!

We had three amazing days at Joe's house!! Kids and adults, we all enjoyed our stay there. We took advantage of almost everything there. Waking up early in the morning to keep "sleeping" in the hammock outside surrounded by the forest. We had breakfast outside in the deck while kids could run around and play. We went to the lake for a swim and go with the canoe to the blueberry island. Having relaxing showers outside looking up to the trees. Enjoying a hot tube bath with a nice talk. The living room + kitchen is a really nice space to enjoy while cooking and.chatting. The rooms were also amazing. Everything made us feel at home, starting with the homemade blueberry muffins and Joe's hospitality. Amazing house and host. We will love to come back one day.

Camp Aljo was built in 2012. It is spacious, airy and is situated right on Lake Cobbosseecontee. Just a few steps to the water and the dock. The "camp" is filled with knotty pine floors and walls. Huge old fashioned farm table that seats 10 on the screened in front porch. Great fishing and boating and swimming right out the front door. Stunning Western exposure for sunsets and great lake views, the restaurants and galleries of Hallowell are a 10 minute drive away.

This new camp is wonderfully situated on Lake Cobboseecontee. This lake is 10 miles long, has wonderful water for boating, swimming, and fishing right through the fall months.

There are a few camps nearby but woods all around and in between camps. Camp Aljo is situated at the bottom of a 1/4 mile lane down to the lake from the Pond Road. Accessible by following Aljo Lane all the way to the bottom.

Our family had a wonderful time at the camp and hope to be able to come back again soon! We were very impressed with the house and property, and the sunrises/sunsets were breathtaking! We highly recommend it!

Sarah2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Private, quite and large. Everything our family was looking for when we had them come up for Florida due to a death in the family. Craig was great to work with!

Aaron2016-10-05T00:00:00Z

The camp is simply adorable! It's airy and bright, but cozy & inviting. Plenty of room, a great kitchen, a lovely screened in porch, all overlooking that GLORIOUS lake. The house itself is brand new, tastefully rebuilt, and fully modernised, while still paying tribute to the original 1900s structure. 5 cozy bedrooms and 2 baths, washer/dryer, board games & books galore, wifi (no TV, but that was fine by us!). Shopping, dining, antiquing, etc. are just minutes away, but you feel completely private tucked away in the woods. Honestly, we felt as if we were in our very own summer house. Craig & family were all absolutely lovely in every interaction we had with them. They never interrupted our vacation, but were always available to answer any minor questions we had. I cannot possibly be emphatic enough in my recommendation. We've only just left and we miss it already!

Elena2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

Our family loved this rental. The lake and screened in back porch were awesome. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the six of us to spread out in the house. I would definitely recommend.

Kelly2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

Everything was perfect and so beautiful! I especially liked being so close to the water and enjoying the swing right next to the water. Seeing and hearing the loons was especially wonderful!

Maija2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Getting there is little bit tricky but Craig guided along the way nicely over the phone... location was calm and beautiful..

Siva2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

This "camp" was absolutely everything we had hoped for...and then some. It really is much more of a home than a camp with the best of both worlds--you get the waterfront camp feel with the comforts of a real home. The house is spacious, clean and welcoming. It took all of five minutes to feel right at home. It has exceptional views and the front screened porch was a favorite spot for family meals. The dock was the perfect spot for a little morning yoga and a launch pad for excellent swimming and kayaking. The host is very responsive and made us feel very welcome. While there are neighbors, we didn't see anyone once (except out on the water). It is very private. The property is a very quick ten minute drive from grocery stores, mini golf and restaurants but other than needing to run out for a few groceries once, we didn't want to leave. It is truly a Maine waterfront paradise. We hope to be back to visit again next year!

Rest easy in the Oaktagon Tree House of 1 Big Sustainable Island. This off the grid (no electricity) one-of-a-kind home is perched on a 14 acre, semi-private island 1/2 mile from shore on a Maine lake. The 900 sq. ft. octagonal home, built around a living Red Oak tree, is designed to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and soothing. The setting has the sights & sounds of the best that Maine's natural beauty has to offer: fresh air, clean water, the sounds of loons on a quiet lake.

Inside the Oaktagon
The Oaktagon Tree House of 1 Big Sustainable Island is an octagonal home that gets its name from the living Red Oak tree that grows through the middle of the home. It's a great place to enjoy a family vacation, host a gathering, or just unplug from hustle and bustle. Step inside and you will be awestruck by the sweet pine panel aroma and the incredible lake view that is a Maine tradition.
It has an open cathedral living/dining room with two fold out futons, a small breakfast table and a large dining table that seats six.
A compact and complete kitchen has all of the cooking utensils you will need to prepare meals --just bring your favorite food, a block of ice, and we'll provide the kitchen to get the food prep done.
A small indoor 1/2 bath adds modern convenience to the experience. It is equipped with a composting toilet and hand sink. Bathing is done either in the lake, or using the solar shower that is included.
A small woodstove, kindling, and firewood come with the accommodations. (You can't visit Maine without at least seeing a woodstove!). Use it for cooking, creating some ambiance, or just taking the edge off a cool evening breeze.
The queen size comfy bed in the sleeping loft comes with linens as do the two couches that convert to beds in the living room. Another lounging option is to linger in the indoor hammock that you can attach to the tree in the living room.
Outside the Oaktagon
The large deck overlooks the canopy and Lake Annabesscook. It is perfect for grilling and enjoying an outdoor meal, bird watching, and having a firefly counting contest.
The Oaktagon comes equipped with a few fishing poles and a small tackle box with an assortment of jigs, flies, and line. You are welcome to use them -- just be sure to get a fishing permit before you do so you can be on the right side of Maine's fishing laws. Annabessacook is known as a world class bass fishery -- we don't even have to stock 'em -- it's that good!

The Oaktagon Tree House at 1 Big Sustainable Island is located in Annabessacook Lake, a 1400 acre quiet lake in Central Maine. The lake has very little boat traffic, which means that a bit of privacy, good fishing, gentle paddling, and leaving the congestion of life "from away" behind are all encouraged and easy to find.
Fishing permits can be obtained on your way in at just about any local convenience store (South Monmouth Market on Route 126, for example) or right on the lake at the Augusta West Campground. Guests are welcome to bring their own boat if they so desire.

From the moment we arrived until we left, we felt so welcomed. The stay itself was a whole experience. It began and ended with a pontoon ride on/off the island. It was such a unique stay. If you've never stayed on an island by yourself, give this place a shot!

We had an amazing weekend at 1BSI. Kent was very accommodating and got us to the island despite our late arrival. The island and the tree house are truly magnificent and the nature is beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Miriam2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Joanne and Kent were great... We were lucky enough to be the first guests at their amazing place. The island experience is simply unforgettable and we can't wait to stay there again. We enjoyed walking the trails around the perimeter of the island and watching sunrise and sunset, fishing on the canoe, swimming in the lake, and reading on the dock. The Octagonal home was a great place to make meals and we enjoyed eating dinner out on the porch. Although we didn't barbecue, we took advantage of the outdoor fire pit to spend the quiet nights under the star filled sky. If you're looking for peace and serenity, a beautiful location, and a destination where relaxation is easy- we highly recommend their home.

Come enjoy your vacation in Maine. A four-bedroom log-cabin furnished, with access to internet and Smart TV, access to lake, private beach with boat launch (paddleboat available for use), nice and quiet neighborhood in private road. Or bring your own boat, kayak, or canoe and enjoy the lake for swimming, and boating. Located on Torsey Pond in Readfield, ME.

Recommend this place to everyone! Great place, close to pond, friendly neighbors/area! Had a great weekend away with friends! Very responsive to any concerns and questions I had!

Nate2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

The location is pretty great. Right across the road from the pond. We did not spend too much time at the Airbnb, mostly just to sleep. The beds are particularly uncomfortable since there are springs that pop up and one of the box spring frames was also broken. Would check that the sheets are changed (ours had stains and food crumbs in them) and everything is cleaned before renting.

Vinayak2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Cue was a great host. The house was right across from a small beach which our family enjoyed. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We have small children and often worry if we or the house will be the right fit. Cue helped us with everything we needed and nobody wanted to leave. It was exactly what we needed.

Chad2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Good location. Close to the lake (across the street, it's not right on the lake). I would have liked to know that they paddle boat needed to be towed to the lake because we didn't have that capability with the rental car and that was one of the main reasons I chose this place. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed for our stay.

Jaime2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

A great, quiet location with everything you'd need for a relaxing stay near the lake. The house has plenty of space and the lake is only a short walk away. The lake itself is pristine and beautiful, with plenty of wildlife to view. Cue was very friendly and responsive to our questions and everyone we met on Torset Shores was friendly and kind. I saw another reviewer mentioned too much dog poop on the shared beach, but I think it was actually goose poop, which is hard to prevent at certain times of the year. This is a great camp for families with children, or anyone looking to get away and enjoy quiet relaxation by the lake.

Carly2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

I rented this place as a getaway for my girls and nieces. The house was big enough for everyone. The pictures of the place are recent and accurate. The kids love having a lake as part of their backyard and having the paddle boat, floaters, and bikes to ride on. This place had enough things for the kids to use. it felt like we were home. The Host Cue was very friendly, understanding, and easy to get contact with if I had question or help. If you are looking to get away from the city and quiet..this is the place to be. I have 2 con for this place is that the lake area has a little too much dog poop on the grass and there is no cellular signal. You have to use wifi. The house does have a wifi and the host will give you for the password but the wifi signal was weak because my calls keep dropping. It was good for web browsing tho.But overall, I had a great stay and will stay there again.

I could write an entire book about how fantastic this accommodation was, and still that would not do it justice. Donna was incredible. Honestly, at one point we almost called her up to come back to hang out with us. Before we even got there, she gave us a courtesy phone call on the drive up from Boston, advising us to where we should stop if we need to pick up groceries, or if we wanted to go out for food/night on the town. Oh the local restaurant doesn't take reservations of parties as large as 10?!?! Have no fear, Donna is here! She will call for you and make sure you are taken care of. Not stopping there, she continued to go above and beyond, introducing us to the local party-boat Captain (Bryan). The following day, Bryan took us out onto the lake for entire day of rope swings and island lighthouse exploration, all as a favor to Donna. She ensured that the grill had gas prior to us arriving, and the house was fully furnished with all the cooking essentials. The beds were all clean and extremely comfortable. We will most likely (if she will have us lol) make this a yearly trip. Everything exceeded our greatest expectations. I could not be happier with my experience here.

Ian2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Donna was a great host. She greeted us when we arrived, even though it was fairly late in the evening, and she gave us a tour of the property. Her house was beautiful.

Mariam2016-04-05T00:00:00Z

The host was very helpful and she gave a small tour of the house. Listing was accurate and neighborhood was beautiful

Deepak2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

This spacious home was tucked away in a quiet, private corner of the neighborhood with walking access to Lake Cobbossee. Donna was a lovely host and provided nets and noodles for our kids to enjoy in the lake. There was plenty of sleeping space and nice gathering spots for our group of ten. The home was well decorated and had amenities such as a jacuzzi tub and a ping pong table. We did have to work around a few appliances that didn't function--namely, the oven and dryer, and also the gas stove produced only low heat. This will not stop us from returning to such wonderful retreat.

The house was everything that is described in the pictures and reviews! It's a very quiet and remote area but there is tons to do right on the property. Bill & Alberta were very gracious hosts and were able to give us so much information about the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Sarah2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

This house is so much more beautiful in person. It's ammenities and peaceful surroundings made us all just keep saying 'we don't want to go home'. Natalie was great to communicate with and her parents were absolute sweethearts. We had an incredible time catching up with family we haven't seen in years and relaxing in all the different our door spaces set up in this little oasis of a lake house. The outdoor kitchen and pizza oven were such a treat and we loved all the family pictures through out the house that told its stories. We will definitely be back!

Shawna2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

We spent a week at LoonSong for a mini family reunion end of September. Alberta and Bill are most gracious hosts who live next door but are not there all the time. But we're there to greet us. We were gifted some goodies ( pies etc.) which were most appreciated. The house offers all the conveniences ( great kitchen) and more. There are two bathrooms which could create a problem should there be 13 people, we did not however have an issue with that. As mentioned in the profile , Alberta and Bill are missionaries. The money spent for the rental went towards digging a well in Guatemala. We liked that. LoonSong with the art studio,player stage, kayaks, docks and beach is perfect for families with children. As an added bonus you may see some bald eagles, twice we did, I have pictures to prove but don't know how to post. Thank you again for your hospitality. The Baachali and Brooke's

Doris2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

This house is amazing. It comfortable slept 11 guests and provided a fun retreat space. Highlights include the fire pit, the outdoor kitchen (complete with pizza oven) and of course the beautiful lake front. The water was cold when we were there, but that didn't hurt the trip at all. Loonsong is truly a treasure, and the hosts were helpful and accommodating!

Timothy2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

Natalie was very prompt and welcoming when accepting my request and helped to work out the details of our arrival. Alberta and Bill greeted us when we arrived, with Alberta giving us a wonderful tour of the house. LoonSong is an absolutely beautiful home. The house came with everything that we could have needed, and more. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. The dining and living room were spacious and quite comfortable. The deck overlooking the lake was beautiful, with a comfortable breeze throughout the weekend. The beds were plentiful, easily being able to accommodate even the largest of families. Aside from the wonderful home, Alberta and Bill were exquisite hosts. I can't say enough about the two of them and how welcomed they made us feel. They were available to answer any questions that we had, and went out of their way to make sure that we were happy and comfortable. Since we were arriving late on our first night there, they even went out of their way to stock the fridge with breakfast food so that we could relax in the morning and not have to run out. My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful time at LoonSong and are already discussing a return trip in the future.

Todd2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

My mom's first words when I told her I was writing a review, "I loved that lake house." Loon song is truly a treasure. It is decorated beautifully and its whole feel is simply charming. The location is wonderful and its absolutely amazing how many amenities there are outside like a large grill, outdoor shower, fit pit, hammock for lounging, a stage, and a cute cottage. The house has everything you and your family could possibly want for a relaxing and beautiful time in Wayne (which is a great little town). Furthermore, you can't find more gracious and welcoming hosts than the Messers. They are just as nice as can be and their daughter Natalie is kind and easy to communicate with. It was exciting for my parents to stay with people with whom we had a crazy mutual connection. We wish them blessings as they continue with their ministry!

Tucker Joanie2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

This is Bill and Alberta's home, and it is a cozy, comfortable and beautifully restored one, right next to the water, truly an idyll. (They move over to the neighboring house when guests come.) We were so happy here, listening to the gentle waves on the shore in the breeze, being soothed by the other-worldly call of the loons (eerie and ancient), making all manner of feasts on their multiple professional grade cooking equipment, indoor and out. We were just five, but we could have been 15 -- it really is set up for a big family or a pile of friends. Everything is thought about and taken care of -- the grounds are gorgeous and full of sweet flowers, the kayaks are ready to paddle, the huge outdoor gathering space for meals could seat 25 people easily, but it is all relaxed, unfussy, and fun. It was a comforting place to be, and Alberta and Bill are organized, friendly, thorough and deeply considerate.

Andrew2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Natalie was very communicative as I was planning the trip, and her parents were extremely helpful, generous & welcoming as I arrived. They made sure we had everything we needed for our specific group. The location is beautiful & the house is very special with a wonderful kitchen for cooking. Highly recommended.

Lake front house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths set on 4 acres, no visible neighbors. Great room, beamed ceilings in each 1st floor room and multiple windows overlooking the lake, patio doors open to large deck with deck furniture and shade awning. Town center easy walk. Swimming, Boating, Fishing, Dock, fields, flowers. It's beautiful with plenty of room to play and explore.

The first floor is an open floor plan with the living, dining, den and kitchen all flowing together with many windows overlooking the lake. The first floor bedroom is off the kitchen and across from the full bathroom and a separate exit. The stairs go up from the den to a second floor hallway with a "nook" for reading . The big bedroom is upstairs with a queen bed, two bureaus, small couch, a closet and desk as well as views out to the lake. There is also a bedroom with twin beds, a bureau, bedside table lamp. The bathroom is at the end of the hall and has a shower. In the basement there is a washer dryer, double doors out to the front yard.

This is the part of the Androscoggin that is very close to town so although it seems like you are way out in the country you're not. The Leadbetter Road is a dead end but gets somewhat busy with summer people and campers but the house is on it's own with pine woods across the street. In front is a beautiful cove that is home to many bird species as well as fish. You will see fisherman out there in the mornings as well as muskrat, beaver, herons, loons, grebes, bald eagles and ospreys. There is a path through the field and around to the point where the dock and the kayaks and paddleboards and "floaties" reside. The house is at the quiet end of the lake and doesn't get churned up by the wind that often.
